My Broken Neck Follow Up #5...
It has been five months since that fateful day when I fractured my neck. Today was yet another follow up.
What does this all mean? At the end of February, I will be rocking one of these fine neck accessories. It also means that while I am healing, I fractured my vertebrae so severely that it may never fully heal. Life is, and may always be, comprised (with pain and fragility). Dr. Z is very forthcoming with those possibilities. On the other hand, who knows. I may beat the odds and live a pre-fall life of exhaustingly happy memories. That's the option on which I'm going to focus. Broken Neck Follow Up #6 occurs in mid-March. Until then, I'm choosing not to dwell on the what ifs but the heck yas!

Oh what great news! I know it would be better to hear that everything has healed but this is very encouraging. Graduating to a soft collar must sound like heaven to you and will be much more comfortable :)
I am hoping they come in more fun colours LOL!
It sounds like you have a very supportive Dr. who is compassionate and helpful. That is half the battle I believe. Knowing that when you walk into their office, you will be seen and heard and your concerns are taken seriously.
Congratulations Denise!! I am very happy for you and happy to hear all about your great news xo
